<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>Investors in <strong>Axcelis Technologies, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acls#NASDAQ">ACLS</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Dec 20, 2024 $60 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.</p>
<h3>What is Implied Volatility?</h3>
<p>Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.</p>
<h3>What do the Analysts Think?</h3>
<p>Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Axcelis shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Axcelis is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) in the Electronics - Manufacturing Machinery industry that ranks in the Bottom 30% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, no analyst increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while two have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $1.64 per share to $1.43 in that period.</p>
<p>Given the way analysts feel about Axcelis right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.</p>
